Christmas is behind us and February is quickly approaching, which, of course, means the next holiday…
Valentine’s Day!
Valentine’s Day happens to fall directly between my birthday and my daughter’s birthday. Needless to say, February is a busy month for us (don’t forget Groundhog’s Day)!
But, despite the busyness we always enjoy making a little something for Valentine’s day to give to our family and friends. To us, it’s less about the presents and more about the sharing our love with those who we love.
Of course, those gifts are made even more special when they are made by little hands. This year we’ve made some clay hearts to give out to show our love…
Supplies needed: polymer clay, heart cookie cutters, alphabet stamps
To make: Roll small amount of clay into a small ball, flatten with the heal of your hand, roll with rolling pin to desired thickness. Using your cookie cutter cut heart shape out of clay disc. Have kids stamp their special message into both the heart and the cut out clay as well.
After clay hearts are baked use them for a variety of fun and thoughtful gifts to give: necklaces, bracelets, wrapping presents, hanging, tucking secretly into pockets…
or simply just to hand to a friend or loved one to show them how much you care…
Enjoy, the love!
